It was 10: 30 am, about seven to eight hours before the sky turned dark.
Time was running out. Even Huang Jiahui and a few other women who were preparing to cook stopped what they were doing to help move the gravel.
The cockpit's windshield was already broken, and the interior was blocked by a large amount of gravel and soil. If they wanted to dig deeper into the cockpit, they would have to clear the gravel in the cockpit first.
Luo Yuan stood at the front, using his sharp Zhanmadao to cut some huge rocks that weighed a ton into small pieces that weighed a hundred kilograms. Then, the people behind him quickly moved the rocks away.
However, Wang Shishi was the most efficient one. Her workload was equivalent to that of five or six people combined.
With the help of her telekinesis, the gravel and soil floated up, forming a long river of gravel above everyone's head. They passed through the iron door in an orderly manner and fell into the transport cabin.
Her telekinesis had been improving rapidly. Ever since the explosion under the sea bridge, she had gradually digested the power of the explosion. Now, her telekinesis could support a weight of 40 to 50 kilograms. She would be able to fly freely if she improved it further.
After a large amount of rubble was removed, the cockpit was soon empty after an hour. Only a long boulder that had pierced through the windshield was left in the cockpit.
The rock was huge, extending from the windshield to the floor. The nearby instrument panels and seats had been torn by the rock, and the metal floor below had been severely deformed.
What was more troublesome was that it had blocked the way to the cockpit, so it had to be removed.
Luo Yuan had not touched it before because he was worried about a landslide. However, now that all the rocks had been cleared, it was time to deal with it. Luo Yuan touched the extension of the rock and realized that due to the violent collision, the surrounding rocks had been compressed very tightly and were stuck layer by layer, forming a new balance. The rocks that could fall should have already fallen, so there should not be a landslide.
"Everyone, leave this place first!" Luo Yuan said.
"Be careful," Huang Jiahui said worriedly.
Luo Yuan nodded and waited for everyone to leave the cockpit. He stared at the rock and took a deep breath. The next moment, he quickly pulled out his Zhanmadao and slashed it seven to eight times in the blink of an eye.
Then, he took a few quick steps and left the cockpit.
His speed was simply too fast. From the moment he unsheathed the sword, sheathed it, and left the cockpit, it took him less than 0.5 seconds. Only when Luo Yuan appeared outside the door did a loud noise come from inside.
With a loud rumble, the huge rock that had been cut into eight or nine pieces smashed heavily on the metal floor. The seats in the cockpit were sent flying by the rolling boulders. Fortunately, everyone had already retreated, so there was no damage.
Fortunately, apart from those few boulders, no other gravel could fall. The surface of the cut was as smooth as a mirror. Apart from a few thin cracks on the edges, the middle was flat. Even if one used their hands to dig, they wouldn't be able to dig out any stones.
Now that there were no more boulders blocking the way, the nose of the plane was hollowed out by Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan used his Zhanmadao to cut off all the delicate parts. Commander Xia's face twitched when he saw this. This was the most advanced transport plane, worth at least hundreds of millions before the apocalypse.
In fact, even if Luo Yuan did not destroy it, most of the parts were twisted and damaged. The nose of the plane had been squeezed into a pancake shape due to the violent impact.
Especially the top of the nose, it had been completely retracted, forming a concave structure.
In a short while, the concave nose of the plane had been cut open by Luo Yuan using his Zhanmadao.
The metal fell heavily on the ground with a loud bang, revealing a circular hole about the height of a human.
Although they had seen this scene several times, everyone was still shocked by the sharpness of the Zhanmadao, especially a few soldiers.
The rocks at the entrance of the hole had been completely smashed by the huge impact of the nose of the plane. As soon as the hole was opened, stone powder flew everywhere.
With just a light touch, a large amount of stone powder would fall, fluttering in the air. It was as soft as flour, and the area affected was so large that there was no need to dig at all. With the help of Wang Shishi's telekinesis, a large amount of stone powder formed a huge white dragon and was transported outside.
As the stone powder was transported away, the space inside became bigger and bigger. Only when it was about three to four meters away did gravel gradually appear.
Wang Shishi's telekinesis had already been used up by a small half. In less than half an hour, it was completely exhausted and she had to stop. However, the amount of work she had done in that half an hour was equivalent to the total work of everyone else. Almost half of the stone powder had been removed by Wang Shishi. Even Luo Yuan praised her, which was rare.
...
It was undoubtedly very dangerous to move stones in such an environment where it was easy to collapse. If one was not careful, they could easily be buried by the gravel.
However, those who were skilled were bold. Most of the ordinary people there had a physical fitness of around 12 points. Their strength, reflexes, and speed were far more than twice that of an ordinary person. If these people were to participate in a track and field competition, they would be able to break the record in any event.
Even Wang Shishi, who looked 'weak', could lift a 100-kilogram boulder without using her telekinesis. If this had happened during the apocalypse, it would have been enough to shock everyone. These people were only weak compared to Luo Yuan, who was inhuman.
There were a few landslides along the way, but they managed to avoid them all. The most dangerous one was when more than 10 square meters of gravel, weighing about 100 tons, fell on top of them. Luo Yuan had only warned them, but they had already escaped before the gravel hit the ground. None of them had been hit. Only one of them had been hit on the head by a gravel, but it was only a superficial wound. He did not even need to bandage it.
When they were about seven to eight meters deep, the gravel gradually disappeared and was replaced by large rocks. For safety reasons, Luo Yuan dug a few more meters until there was only a rock wall in front of them.
With everyone moving without stopping, the progress of the project was faster than expected. Before 7 o 'clock, they had reached the final cleaning stage.
The cave was about 10 meters deep and 6 meters wide. Although it was a little narrow, it was still a safe place to stay during the apocalypse. Plus, the area was enough to accommodate more than 10 people.
Looking at the cave surrounded by rock walls, everyone was relieved. At least they could have a good night's sleep.
...
When they walked out, the sky was completely dark.
The wind was strong that night, sweeping through the forest with a whistling sound. Everyone was preparing to cook dinner.
"Quick, look above us!" Huo Dong suddenly said.
Everyone hurriedly raised their heads. Above their heads, streaks of red, yellow, and green aurora shrouded the sky. They were like ever-changing ribbons, exuding a bewitching yet strange color in the sky. What made their scalps tingle was that it covered a huge area, almost covering half of the sky.
"Why is there such a thing here?" Cao Ling was shocked. "Is there going to be an earthquake?"
"No, it's impossible. Maybe it's just a coincidence." Wang Xiaguang stared at the beautiful auroras and said with a trembling voice.
Luo Yuan looked serious as well. Auroras were not a good phenomenon. They were the Earth's magnetosphere or the flow of high-energy particles in outer space, causing the molecules in the atmosphere to ionize. He had seen it in the volcano last time, and it was obviously a change in the magnetic field.
However, it was not the case this time. He had seen auroras in the sky before the plane went missing, but it was very small and the area was far smaller than this. This time, it might be related to the space storm that Commander Xia had mentioned.
Luo Yuan glanced at Commander Xia and saw that his face was pale and his lips were trembling. His heart sank. Obviously, they had thought of the same thing.
The wind was howling in the night sky, getting stronger and stronger, almost making people lose their balance.
The green blanket on the top of the forest was shaking violently, making an unusually noisy rustling sound. If it were not for the tough branches and thick trunks, and the fact that the leaves were almost connected to each other, the blanket would have been blown off.
The intensity of the wind was at least at the level of a level eight or nine typhoon. It was an extremely strange thing to have such a strong wind in such an inland area.
At the same time, the range of the auroras in the sky was expanding rapidly. Soon, the entire sky was filled with this kind of enchanting light. Occasionally, there were even lightning flashing across the sky, making a series of loud noises. As time passed, a strange aura gradually filled the entire space.
The aura was so strong that everyone had goosebumps and felt an inexplicable sense of panic.
The next moment, the entire forest began to shake violently. In the dark, there seemed to be countless creatures running around like headless flies. One of them was more than three meters long, and it was running towards Luo Yuan. It had lost its rationality out of fear, and all it knew was to run. In the end, it hit a tree trunk, tilted its head, and completely fainted.
In just ten minutes, the lightning had become more and more intense, almost forming a dense electric net in the sky.
The dark night sky suddenly became as bright as day.
A deep chill rose from the bottom of Luo Yuan's heart and spread throughout his entire body. He pulled Commander Xia who was next to him, and with a serious face, he said word by word, "What will happen if the cosmic storm reaches a certain level?"
Commander Xia's face turned pale. After a moment of silence, he said, "I'm not too sure either. However, first of all, the ionosphere will expand, and the outer space will accelerate the dissipation of the atmosphere. There will be a large-scale discharge near the earth's atmosphere, and the earth's temperature will continue to rise, which is the intensity we are currently experiencing.
If the intensity increases further, the atmosphere will gradually be blown away by the storm, and the atmosphere will form a hole. After that, it will be meaningless. Once the hole expands, everyone, including all living things, will die. The only way to survive is to hide underground and have a complete ecological system. "
"So, we can only pray for the storm to pass as soon as possible?" Huo Dong said with difficulty, feeling hopeless.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a thick bolt of lightning landed heavily on a tree that was hundreds of meters tall a hundred meters in front of them. The entire tree was suddenly split in half, and soon, it began to burn.
The sudden lightning jolted everyone awake, and their expressions changed drastically.
"Quick, leave this place!" Luo Yuan shouted loudly. He then picked up two children and another child, and ran towards the transport aircraft.
Everyone was scared, and their faces turned pale as they quickly followed Luo Yuan.
